Annabelle turns 9 months!

This month, capturing the monthly picture turned out to be a bit challenging!  Annabelle wanted the candles and the cupcakes soooo badly!

Annabelle weighed in at 20.5 pounds, and was 28.25 (I think) inches long.  She is in the 80% for weight and 75% for height & head circumference.  She has one front tooth and the second is just below the surface.  She got her first tooth on September 4.  It was quite a surprise for me to find first thing in the morning!  She is starting to want to feed herself and doesn't want her bottles much.  She loves playing with you and some of her favorite games are peek-a-boo and this little piggy.  She still loves going to daycare and playing with all the fun people there.  She goes to bed at about 7:30 at night and sleeps until around 6.  She loves to smile and laugh and have fun.  She really has a great disposition!  She thinks being 9 months old is pretty darn cool.  She is trying to crawl soo badly and really really wants to but hasn't quite gotten there yet.

So, in light of her desire to feed herself, I decided to run with it.  This is the end result...

And as a result of the food going EVERYWHERE (which is why she ate in just her diaper this night), we finished off with her first sink bath:

So here's to you, my sweet little 9-month old - Happy Birthday!  I love you!
